An Indonesian lawmaker is advocating for a stronger emphasis on downstreaming industries within the government’s forthcoming one-stop export service, operated by PT Danantara Sumberdaya Indonesia (DSI). The policy aims to streamline export processes, but the legislator believes prioritizing value-added processing before export is crucial. This approach seeks to boost Indonesia’s economic gains by exporting finished or semi-finished goods rather than raw materials. Concerns have been raised about potential monopolies and the need for transparent selection criteria for companies involved in the DSI initiative. The lawmaker urges the government to ensure equitable access and prevent the dominance of select businesses. Ultimately, the goal is to maximize national revenue and foster industrial development through strategic export policies. The policy is currently awaiting finalization and implementation details.
